Intake is the new retro-futuristic drugstep arcade shooter from Cipher Prime. In this polychromatic love child of Dr. Mario and Ikaruga, you battle a never-ending barrage of pills, pushing your skill and reflexes to the limit to avoid a lethal dosage. Blast and combo your way through an epic cascade of audiovisual mayhem so intoxicating it comes with its own warning label.

Features:

Classic Arcade Shooter: From its aspect ratio to its fast-paced game play, Intake is directly inspired by classic arcade shooters and SHMUPs with just a hint of FPS love.

For the longest time, I'd post videos of games that looked cool.  I'm going to try something different.  A poll.  Don't feel obligated to post until you've seen my review. By monday.

Drum roll please...



Not sure what I expected.

It has the falling pills, reminiscent of Dr. Mario.  It has the color flip from Ikaruga. Visually, its great.  The music is good enough.  It plays with a mouse and 2 buttons.  One to "fire" and the other to flip.

I'm not sure if its appropriate for an arcade cabinet or not.  Leaning towards not, but I don't have a trackball installed to compare appropriately.


To be fair, I've played it for less than 3 minutes.  I'll give an update if I play it again or if anyone wants to pose a question.
